As one who travels a lot for RW obligations. I can state w/o hesitation that many hotels (BIG ones). Most certainly do have cameras up & down the guest hallways.
(not just at the exit points).
Now whether or not they're watched? I don't know. And don't care.
As when I choose to hobby, I conduct myself appropriately when I stay at upscale hotels and I don't need to pay a maid to bring me towels nor let the staff know what I choose to do in my paid hotel room. (that's an OBVIOUS hell NO, indiscretion).
Discretion is key. And if one let's discretion slip in just the slightest way to any hotel staff. Well, then...they're simply asking for trouble.
Cameras are everywhere we go in life. Hotels are no exception.

Secondly, most hotels have a pretty small staff, and just don't have the man-power to have someone setting on their ass watching the cameras all day. And even in large resorts like a JW Marriott that have a full time security staff; if by some million to one chance an employee does notice hobbyish activity, they're not going to do anything about it (except maybe crack a joke in the back with their buddies). Hotel employees are just underpaid people waiting for five o'clock (or whenever) to roll around, they're not chaste knights out on a cockblocking crusade.
